Shakespeare's Shadows
Emily RomeFeaturing interviews with both actors and academics, Shakespeare’s Shadows delves into a single Shakespeare character in each episode. Perspectives from the worlds of academia, theater, and film together shape explorations of the Bard’s shadows, his imitations of life — pretty good imitations, ones that reveal enough of ourselves that we’re still talking about them four centuries later.

Apple Podcasts5JespaincUnited States2 years ago - An absolute gem
This podcast is impeccably edited and researched, and each episode is like a treasure trove for a Shakespeare enthusiast like me. The balance of actor and scholar conversations keeps the content engaging and fresh. I have fallen in love with Shakespeare characters I never had a particular fondness for because of this podcast. Emily is a perfect host. I cannot wait for more!!
Apple Podcasts5bwayboogieUnited States2 years ago - Feed the wonder
Ophelia being the muse that drew me in, is rightfully underestimated in mainstream. The wonder I carried for her, about her, and the Bard’s placement of her was satiated while listening to these brilliant minds explore. Along with archetypes of Jung, this will certainly be in my listening circulation.
